What feat did the youth from Kiev accomplish and what was the cunning of Governor Pretich? Old Russian literature. “the feat of the Kievite youth and the cunning of the governor Pretich Historical background of the chronicle the feat of the Kievite youth

In summer 6476 (968). The Pechenegs came to the Russian land for the first time, and Svyatoslav was then in Pereyaslavets on the Danube. And Olga shut herself up in Kyiv with her grandchildren. And the Pechenegs besieged the city with great force: there were countless of them around the city. And it was impossible to leave the city or send messages. It was impossible to take the horse out to water: the Pechenegs stood on Lybid. People were exhausted from hunger and thirst.

And the people from that side of the Dnieper gathered in boats and stood on the other bank. And it was impossible for any of them to enter Kyiv, nor from Kyiv to them. And the people in the city began to grieve and said:

Is there anyone who could go over to the other side and tell them: if you don’t approach the city in the morning, we’ll surrender to the Pechenegs?

And one youth said:

I'll pass.

And they answered him:

He left the city with a bridle and ran through the Pecheneg camp, asking them:

Has anyone seen the horse?

For he knew how to speak Pecheneg, and they accepted him as one of their own. And when he approached the river, he threw off his clothes, threw himself into the Dnieper and swam. Seeing this, the Pechenegs rushed after him, shot at him with arrows, but could not do anything to him.

They saw this on the other side, drove up to him in a boat, took him into the boat, and brought him to the squad. And he said to them:

If you don’t approach the city tomorrow, the people will surrender to the Pechenegs.

Their governor, named Pretich, said:

Tomorrow we will go in boats and, having captured the princess and princes, we will rush off to this side. If we don’t do this, Svyatoslav will destroy us.

"The feat of a young Kievite." Hood. A. Ivanov

The next morning, close to dawn, they got into the boats and blew a loud trumpet, and the people in the city screamed. The Pechenegs thought that the prince himself had come and fled from the city. And Olga went out with her grandchildren and people to the boats. The Pechenezh prince, seeing this, returned alone to the governor Pretich and asked:

Who came? And he answered him:

People from that side of the Dnieper. The Pecheneg prince asked again:

Aren't you a prince? Pretich replied:

I am his husband and came as a guard, and behind me comes a regiment with the prince himself: countless of them.

He said this to threaten them. The Prince of Pecheneg said to Pretich:

Be my friend. He replied:

I will do so.

And they shook hands with each other, and the Pecheneg prince gave Pretich a horse, a saber, and arrows. He gave him chain mail, a shield, a sword. And the Pechenegs retreated from the city.

And the people of Kiev sent to Svyatoslav with the words:

You, prince, are looking for someone else’s land and taking care of it, but you have left your own. And we were almost taken by the Pechenegs, and your mother, and your children. If you don't come and protect us, they will take us. Don’t you really feel sorry for your fatherland, nor your old mother, nor your children?

Hearing this, Svyatoslav quickly mounted his horse and came to Kyiv with his retinue. He kissed his mother and children and lamented what happened to them from the Pechenegs. And he gathered the soldiers and drove the Pechenegs into the field 2, and there was peace.

1 Watchmen - advanced, reconnaissance detachments.
2 Field - steppe south of Kyiv.

In 968, nomadic Pechenegs came to Rus' for the first time. The Kiev prince Svyatoslav fought with Byzantium and was far from home. Not far from the city there was only a small detachment of governor Pretich.

The youth from Kiev accomplished the following feat: he left the city and passed through the enemy camp, speaking Pecheneg. If the enemies had realized that he was from Kiev, they would have captured and killed him.

The trick of the governor Pretich was that he did not admit to the Pecheneg prince that Svyatoslav was far from Kiev, but told him that he, the governor, was leading the vanguard, and the Russian prince with countless troops was following. The Pechenezh prince was frightened, asked for peace and retreated from the city.

The story ends with Svyatoslav returning from a foreign land and driving the Pechenegs into the field. With his last words, the chronicler emphasizes that the most important thing for a person is peace.

The chronicler respects the heroic deed of the youth, who was able to pass through the enemy camp and cross the Dnieper under arrows, understands Pretich’s forced cunning and does not approve of Svyatoslav. This disapproval is expressed in the words of the Kievites: “You, prince, are looking for a foreign land and taking care of it, and have left your own.” The trouble and famine might not have happened if Svyatoslav had been not in Pereyaslavets on the Danube, but in his native land.

The heroes of the chronicle story read, for the most part, occupy a high position: Pretich is a governor, he makes peace with the Pecheneg prince; Svyatoslav is a Russian prince, Princess Olga is his mother. Only the youth does not occupy a high position, but he can rightly be called an outstanding brave man.

The story of the heroic deed of a Kievite youth can serve our time, setting an example of courage and dedication for the sake of saving our native land.

The Tale of Bygone Years also includes folk legends - the story of the Kozhemyak youth (under 992) and the story of Belgorod jelly (under 997). IN "Tales of the Kozhemyak" The leather craftsman puts the princely squad to shame and saves Rus' from the Pecheneg raid. He accomplished a feat that none of Prince Vladimir’s warriors could accomplish - he defeated the mighty Pecheneg warrior. "The Legend of Belgorod Kisel"- a story about deceiving the Pechenegs by cunning, when they besieged Belgorod and there was severe famine in the city. Then, on the advice of the wise old man, the remains of jelly and honey were lowered into the well, and then these wells were shown to the Pechenegs. The Pechenegs decided that they would never starve the city out and went back to the steppe.

The heroes of these legends are not princes, but ordinary Russian people, who, with their personal initiative, liberate their native land from enemies.

On the slide are the words of D.S. Likhachev: “We must be grateful sons of our great mother - Ancient Rus'. The past must serve the present"(Slide)

How do you understand the words of D.S. Likhachev: “We must be grateful sons of our great mother - Ancient Rus'”?
We should be grateful to the sons of Ancient Rus' for the fact that they defended the independence of our land in a difficult struggle against the invaders, giving us an example of inner strength and mental fortitude. Our gratitude can be expressed in caring for the monuments of Russian antiquity, in a thoughtful and careful study of history and in caring for the beauty and prosperity of our modern Russia. Our country is our heritage and we must take care of it and then pass it on to our children.
Can the story of a youth from Kiev “serve modernity”?
The story of the heroic deed of a Kievite youth can serve our time, setting an example of courage and dedication for the sake of saving our native land.

I. Teacher's opening speech.

In the 10th century, a new faith came to Rus' - Christianity.(Students will remember from previous lessons that paganism existed before this time (988 CE).) In this regard, there is a need for widespread inculcation of faith, and books can help in this.

First of all, Prince Vladimir invites learned philologists from Bulgaria - the brothers Cyril and Methodius - to Russia. They create a new alphabet, which is still used by us and is called the Cyrillic alphabet.” With her help, writing has become simpler and more accessible. Old Church Slavonic writing gradually faded away.

With the advent of new, easier writing, the number of educated people is growing.

Thus, the book played a huge role in the planting and then strengthening of Christianity in Rus'. At first, all the books were translated, they were brought from Byzantium and Bulgaria. But already in the 11th century. works of ancient Russian writers appear, for example, “The Tale of Law and Grace” by Hilarion, chronicles (a genre unique to Rus'), “The Tale of Bygone Years” - 12th century, various “Lives...”

The period of Old Russian literature ends in the 17th century.

“The Tale of Bygone Years” is the first literary monument that has survived to this day. What does "temporary" mean? Past, long gone. This work includes legends and traditions. They reflected such themes as national patriotism, the struggle of principalities for unification and others.

The story “The Feat of the Kiev Youth and the Cunning of Governor Pretich,” included in the “Tale of Bygone Years,” tells the story of the events that occurred “In the summer of 6476.” (968), about the seizure of Russian lands by the Pechenegs.
